Hyperpigmentation, caused by an increase of melanin in the skin, is annoying. Though we all have melanin, the reasons for individual hyperpigmentation can vary. For some, it's related to sun exposure. (If you want more on that, check out this story on skin cancer.) For others, hormones, environmental stressors and inflammation are the culprits.

When it comes to treating hyperpigmentation and dark spots, most dermatologists recommend using products made with vitamin C, azelaic acid, mandelic acid or niacinamide (vitamin B-3). Thankfully, these formulations are readily available, which means reducing the appearance acne-related hyperpigmentation is possible (yes, even at home).
